## About Alegreya Sans

Alegreya Sans is a sans serif family on humanist proportions; its strokes thicken and thin slightly and end in angled, pen-like cuts. In the specimen the numerals are oldstyle figures: 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 drop below the baseline while 6 and 8 rise above the lowercase. The official description presents the family as the sans member of the Alegreya type system, a super family first intended for literature, and says its varied rhythm is aimed at readers of long texts. There are seven weights, Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, ExtraBold and Black, each with an italic, for 14 styles; the family is static, not variable. The fonts hold 2,058 glyphs and cover Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese. Juan Pablo del Peral drew Alegreya Sans, HT Fonts (Huerta Tipografica) published it, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Long articles and essays**: The stroke modulation and oldstyle figures were designed for extended reading, the purpose of the whole Alegreya system.
- **Captions and notes beside Alegreya**: As the sans sibling of the Alegreya serif it shares proportions, so side notes and captions sit naturally next to serif text.
- **Multilingual publications**: Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese are all in the 2,058-glyph set, enough for one design across several editions.
- **Headings with strong emphasis**: ExtraBold and Black give two steps above Bold for titles, and the italics add a second voice at every weight.
- **Reports with running figures**: Oldstyle numerals blend into sentences, so dates and amounts inside paragraphs do not jump out like capitals.

## Things to know

- **Seven weights, with gaps**: The weights are Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, ExtraBold and Black. There is no ExtraLight or SemiBold.
- **Static files**: Alegreya Sans is not variable. The download is 14 separate TTF files, one per style.
- **Small caps are a separate family**: The official description mentions a Small Caps companion family; it is not part of this package.
